Hija De La Luna Poet Triolet

I Went Against the Stream and Lost

I went against the stream and self,
I saw me tired, laden, and lost.  
I carried the water uphill;
I went against the stream and self;
Alas, it flowed to the lower shelf!
Oh stream, i am so very cross! 
I went against the stream and self,
I saw me tired, laden, and lost.

Hija De La Luna September 24, 2014 at 10:44 PM Yes, Brenda, when we go with the flow we also honor life and nature. :)) Thanks for the visit and congratulations!
